Sterling Ropes are
designed to provide you the best protection possible. All
UIAA Laboratory tests demonstrate the low stretch of Sterling Dynamic under an 80kg load. Low elongation is critical to preventing cratering on the rock below.
To inhibit the absorption of moisture, all Sterling Static and Dynamic cores are made with SeaGard®, a proprietary Allied Signal yarn finish. This finish is an integral part of the manufacturing process and serves to protect the yarn during the braiding and handling operations. SeaGard® also helps in maintaining the strength of your rope in wet climbing or rescue operations. All Sterling Ropes are temperature balanced. This means that the cores and the covers have been similarly heat treated to insure even stretch characteristics.
Fire Rescue Ropes
Highest quality
tag lines and personal escape ropes
• RIT 900™, RIT 500™,
RIT Response and FireTech32™ were developed specifically for overcoming extreme
heat, fire ground obstacles, and poor visibility when searching for and
rescuing trapped firefighters or civilians.
• Sterling Rope RIT
Lines and escape ropes utilize aramid fibers which are critical when working in
situations where exposure to high heat may occur.
•

Dynamic Ropes
Single
and double ropes used for alpine, mountain and sport climbing. Sterling
Dynamics are also offered with a dry treatment. A wet rope is cumbersome to
carry, has a lower tensile strength and has compromised knotability at
temperatures near freezing. A good dry treatment not only deals with these
issues, but also repels dirt.
